Brownie In A Mug!

     While I was exploring the amazing world of Pinterest, I saw a picture with something on it that I never knew existed! A BROWNIE IN A MUG! And all you needed was some things that you can get easily from the pantry instead of spending $10 at the grocery store for a box of brownie mix! I instantly jumped out of bed, and when searching for the ingredients. This is a really cute, sweet treat that takes only 5-10 minutes!


Ingredients:
. 1/4 cup of sugar
. 1/4 cup of flour
. pinch of salt
. 2 tbsp. of cocoa
. 2 tbsp. of olive oil
. 3 tbsp. of water
. ice cream (optional)

                                                  And you'll probably want a mug too :)
Let's get started!

First, add 1/4 cup of sugar in your mug.

Next, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa.

Then, add a pinch of salt.

 Add 1/4 cup of sugar.

Now, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Next, add 3 tablespoons of water.

Now that you have all of your basic ingredients, you can add as many chocolate chips as you want. I used milk chocolate and played it safe, but if you like butterscotch, white, etc. feel free to add those instead :)

And then mix until consistent.

Then put it in the microwave for 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Doesn't that look delicious?! But don't dive in yet! (be careful! its hot!)

Just at your favorite ice cream, then bam! There's your "Brownie in a Mug!"

This quick, sweet treat is definitely going to be one of my favorite recipes that will never get old! It is light and fluffy, and has just the right amount of chocolate! And can you actually believe it only took 
5-10 min?! I really hope you enjoy this recipe, because I know I did! Thank god for Pinterest! Click here for source.

DIY Makeup Brush Roll

I found this AMAZING DIY idea on on of my most fave sites ever, and click here to go check out The Beauty Department! Now, we all usually use the lame, plain, and boring brush case that comes with the brush(es), right? But this will solve your problem! This example above is blue, but it is all up to you what color you choose! Comment below what you think of it! (TOTAL TIME: It took about 2 hours to make this and photograph the process, so it should only take you about an hour. Then allow 3 hours for air drying after the dye process.)
